      Status:
      Answered
      On December 13, 2024, I hired College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Palm Beach County to help me move from my former townhouse to my condo. While moving items into the condo, the movers forcefully shoved my front door open, which resulted in the thumb turn of my deadbolt slamming into my Nest thermostat. This broke the thermostat.One of the movers said that he would talk with his boss and have my thermostat replaced. As I had not received any correspondence after the move, I filed a claim with College Hunks on 12/21/23. I waited for a response and never received one. I contacted College Hunks customer service on 1/16/24 to check on the status of my claim. They stated that the claims department denied my request. I requested to have the claim resubmitted, and the customer service rep said that she would. I checked back with College Hunks on 1/22, 1/29, 1/31, 2/7, and 2/10. Each time leading up to the call on 2/10, the customer service rep said they would leave a message for the claims department, but there was no way to reach them directly. I never received any correspondence from College Hunksno phone call, email, or letter in response to my claim. Moreover, on the 1/31 call with the local office, I was told that the claims **** denied my claim because it was my fault the thumb turn and thermostat were at the same level. Ive been told that the company will not reimburse me for the cost of a new thermostat, approximately $180.This was an accident; however, this is why companies are insured. Im extremely disappointed that College Hunks is not accepting responsibility for damaging my property.

      College Hunks in ****************, cancelled my commitment to move my furniture to ****, ********, in the last 2 weeks of my move. I booked their service 2 months in advance. Because it was done without any warning, I had to rush to find a new quote for another furniture company. Most of the furniture companies were entirely booked out and it placed us in a position to take the only provider available. The price was an additional $6,000, because they had to shuffle to fit us into their tight binding commitments to other customers. Had we had ample notice, we would have had a range of furniture companies from which to choose. This would have given us a range of prices to select from. Now, the prices that we are being charged for this last-minute option is more than what they had promised and what the other competitors back when we negotiated this priced with them. College Hunks forced us out of the good options back when we were shopping for furniture movers and were seduced into their offer. It is appalling that they did this to us and left us with no options. I reached out to them to see if they would be willing to pay some of the additional costs that I occurred all because of them cancelling on me at the last minute, but they did not response. I felt it was best that they minimize their costs by doing the right thing by me, their customer in the first place.In fact, I emailed their headquarters, and they did not respond as well. This is a disgusting company. Do NOT ***** ever use this furniture company as they have no idea how to treat their customers. ***************************
